What it is

Habitica turns habits, daily goals and to-do lists into a game to help users stay motivated and organized. Completing tasks can level up an avatar and unlock armor, pets, skills and quests. Users can spend in-game gold on equipment or custom rewards, while friends can fight monsters together for accountability. Group Plans add a shared task board and dedicated chat space; members can assign tasks or leave them open as challenges. Group Plan members receive an exclusive Jackalope Mount and subscription benefits that include monthly equipment sets and the ability to buy Gems with Gold. Habitica has a free plan, and the listed Free plan costs nothing. A Group Plan costs $9 a month plus $3 per additional member. Group subscriptions renew automatically and are billed based on the number of members; adding members between periods can lead to a prorated charge on the next billing cycle. Habitica publishes V3 API documentation for third-party tools and directs developers to its usage guidelines. Its iOS listing notes optional in-app purchases and subscriptions.
